Personally, typography and cool type treatments are my absolute favorite when it comes to design. There is an endless amount of room for creativity but still somewhat of a structure to follow leading to some real problems to solve and producing some real epic pieces of art. We all know typography has been around forever. But lately there has really been an outburst of some really amazing forward thinkers in the field. It seems that people are really finally grasping onto type as an aesthetic and not so much as… well… just text! Here are some of my favorite pieces to share with you! Enjoy!

I am really impressed by some of these typographical designs. I’m still a stickler for legibility though, and some of these I struggled to see the words clearly.

Actually IMERU, you ust be blind since most of these ARE legible. Not to mention good typography doens NOT have to be legible. What about graffiti and avant garde experimental typography? You don’t know what you’re talking about at all.

Actually, most of these ARE horrible because they’re illegible. IMEURU is not blind at all; the vast majority of these pieces take more than a glance — and sometimes, some serious puzzling out — to determine what the text says. That’s not good typographic design in my book, especially when there is a message that is being communicated, not just a tag as in graffiti. And avant garde experimental typography is actually usually pretty legible.

Actually., IMERU is an idiot, and so are you. Typography is whatever you want it to be. Illegibility has NOTHING to do with it. Yeah, if you going to be designing a typeface, yes, legibility is important. But these are posters, artworks, magazine editorial logos, etc… all of which are made by famous designers UNLIKE yourself. you people disgust me. Get over yourself you pretentious bastard.

ASPARAGUS: These aren’t logos. These are artworks made with type as the medium. A logo is a mark or icon for a company, organization, or person. So yes, I am saying these DO NOT NEED TO BE LEGIBLE. Whereas an actual LOGO would be. Before you criticize you should try making sure you know what you’re talking about.

I agree with ANTI. I am a 10 year veteran of corporate brand design and even I can tell these are simply artworks. All of these amateur designers in here need to give it a rest, you have no idea what you are talking about.
